Tyre size

**rar110** · 21st January 2018, 09:29 AM

I went with 265/60/18s as available in regional/remote areas. I’ll be looking for a replacement in 2 years. Will look at 255/70/18.

I run a 265/65/17 on my D3 - practically the same diameter as a 265/60/18. Its a stock Prado size so has good availability for spares

So hows the theory work? If you do more city/highway driving than offroad, would it not be better to go for a thinner tyre, like a 235 or 245?

I wouldn't go narrower than original width.

i went with 265/60/18,which is stock Prado and Pajero size,so would be one of the most common sizes around.
It is also almost exactly OEM tyre diameter for D3/4.
Prado also run 245/70/17 on the GX model.

275 65 18....rubs on hard cornering.... or roundabouts otherwise fine.... added GOE rods... runs comfortable

Tossing up between 285/60/R18 and 265/60/R18.

How bad is the rubbing on the larger size?

I'm heading up to the cape in a couple of months and I'm undecided as to what size to pick! Of course I'm mindful that off road, I don't want to damage anything at full articulation and still want it to drive as good as it does now on the bitumen.

I've narrowed the tyres down to 3:
Nitto Terra Grapper G2
Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10
Kumho Road Venture MT51

Would love some opinions on choice of tyre and size!

I'm waiting for 18" compomotives and was considering these :

Michelin - LTX FORCE 265/60 R18 110T

From the reviews I read they look OK.

Just something to further muddy the waters.

I run the same on my 18' and on my 17' steel rims I run 265 65 17 which seems to be a common size with Hilux and Ranger from all the adverts I see.
